Torque is most noticeable when power is applied suddenly for example, during takeoff. When the aircraft is in a climb, the descending blade meets the relative wind at a greater angle, producing more lift (thrust). Each plays a unique role, especially at high power settings and low airspeeds, such as during takeoff. The result?

If the bank increases, the loss of vertical lift component tends to lower the nose. Because of engine torque and “P” factor, turns to the left will tend to steepen, and banks to the right tend to decrease. Then, slowly and smoothly bring the nose up to the attitude which will stall the airplane.

Then he followed the installation procedure, including the mast nut torque application. The mast nut torque application is a critical procedure, which ensures that the rotor assembly remains attached to the main rotor mast. He asked a mechanic to come and verify the mast nut torque.

The pilot lowered the collective lever by 50%, which decreases the pitch angle of the main rotor blades and thus reduces the lift generated by the rotor. Reducing the lift and decreasing the torque effect helped to stabilize the helicopter. The helicopter, still powered, briefly lifted off again.

It may be necessary to add a slight amount of power to keep the airspeed from decreasing excessively and to avoid losing lift too rapidly. By adding power, thrust can be increased to keep the airspeed from decelerating too rapidly and the wings from suddenly losing lift, but throttle must be closed immediately after touchdown.

Aerodynamic Differences Fixed-Wing Aircraft (Airplanes) Airplanes , or fixed-wing aircraft, generate lift through their stationary wings as they move forward. This pressure difference produces lift, allowing the aircraft to ascend. Each rotor blade acts as an airfoil, and as it rotates, it moves air over its surface, generating lift.

Key Takeaways Ailerons control the aircrafts roll by adjusting lift on each wing. The aircrafts wing is able to generate lift due to its shape. The more the wings shape is able to change the direction of the flow of air over the surface, the more lift it will produce. Why does this increase the lift? How Do Ailerons Work?
